Bud,
You've proven what we all eventually learn about these cars. Chasing down a
difficult problem ends up teaching you about all the other things that
AREN'T causing the problem. One learns little from success. By the time I
was done fitting the Megasquirt I felt I could make anything run.
Congratulations!
Glen
